2017-2018 University of the Incarnate Word School of Osteopathic Medicine

[djtallahassee]

Did yall approach #1 with a "Why DO and back it up with examples/experiences?" or more literally like how did it prepare you for osteopathic school? I think it's more like why DO but am questioning myself now. Maybe I am reading too deep.

II!

Can any current students speak to their experiences so far? I have an acceptance so I'm trying to be a little more selective and save money with travel. But I don't want to pass up a chance to see new faces and see what else is out there!

Yeah. It's not unlivable right now but thinking about the cost of a plane ticket and taking time off work adds up.

 

[PastorDoc]

II, #3 of the cycle! Question, there are only two dates available? Is that typical or do you all think more will open up?

 

[DecisionTime2017]

When did you guys get the application complete email?

Does this school have a huge instate bias like most other Texas schools?

It's a private school so I would lean towards no.

 

[ardparts]

II for 9/22 !!!!

 

[The ED is for Me]

Current student of the school here (we started Monday). I'll answer any questions related to curriculum/schedule etc. as best I can. My biggest concern originally was the unknowns of a new school especially, but now we do have a schedule, handbook and a plan that I can draw from for you guys.

I have a question! I have an interview scheduled for the end of September. In the instructions they mention, 'you may be required to read various passages and/or provide a writing sample so please bring reading glasses if needed'. Can you provide any insight to this? Are we going to have to write yet another essay during the interview?? Thanks!

Are you far outside of Texas? I just submitted my primary earlier this week.

I feel like this school is getting some crazy competitive applicants.

Very far from Texas!

I would guess they would view you slightly more favorably with Florida residency.

Hope so lol

Does anyone have any insight on how the admissions committee works at UIW?

I submitted my secondary within a week of receiving it (June 30th) and some who have submitted it after have already received a rejection or II...

So yeah, first we are not allowed to speak to the specifics of the actual interview process (the MMI - signed a non-disclosure). I don't know anything specific either about upcoming interview days either. Do not sweat it though. There was not anything at any of our MMI stations that was unreasonable for the time allotted.

 

[coffemug]

250 words is so light. How did everyone structure their essays, one paragraph or intro body conclusion ?

 

[ju2323]

II !

 

[DecisionTime2017]

II !

Congrats! Stats/complete date?

 

[HopefulDoc_27]

Are the interviews here closed file? Thanks!

 

[hopefuldoctor93]

They are MMI styled, so I assume they are closed file.

How hard was it to reschedule? I have to due to the hurricane

 

[sweetdreamzzz]

Good luck to the first interviewees this weekend!

 

[bears1992]

Rejected pre-secondary yesterday. Glad they didn't milk me for my secondary fee. Good luck to the rest of you guys!

 

[The ED is for Me]

Interviewing 9/23. Anyone else? Ladies are you bringing a small purse? I want to take notes...

 

[Zizou_5]

Met some impressive applicants this weekend. Almost everyone loves the MMI once it starts. Don't stress too much.

I brought a purse, it was pretty large but so was everyone else's.

 

[HopeDealer]

Just finished my secondary. Anyone know there turn about rate?

 

[HopeDealer]

Hello fellow hopefuls! How long after the submission of your secondary and letters posting did you get a response? Particularly for II or any post-secondary rejections before a II?

[BoonCroft]

Has anyone received a reply by UIWSOM to a post-interview thank-you e-mail?

Pre-secondary rejection with your stats? Must be a seriously competitive pool they are getting this cycle

I'm from Florida so they might be more picky about out of state applicants.

Have you heard if they have a huge IS bias? I am from NJ
